text: With pumpkins and squash growing in the fields near her Town of Saukville home, Christine O'Neil, 17, can turn her attention from the crops to grooming two Suffolk lambs she hopes will win blue ribbons and fetch a nice price at the 4-H Livestock Sale on Thursday, July 29. A member of Lakeview 4-H Club in Saukville, Christine has a myriad of fair entries that show off her artistic and leadership skills, including fresh and dried arrangements made from plants she grows. The fair is a brief diversion for the girl, who spends most of her summer and fall growing crops for her business Pumpkins With Perspective. She emphasizes the artistic aspects of the vegetables as much as their edible and carving properties. "I want people to look at them with a new perspective," Christine said. "Each one is different. Each one is a work of art." In addition to selling her produce at farmers' markets and festivals, Christine decorates Bay Shore Town Square, Milwaukee Public Market, the Madison Club and other businesses with items she grows. The decorating business evolved as customers at markets and festivals admired her displays and asked her to decorate their businesses for fall. Christine, who will be a junior at Grafton High School, garnered numerous awards this past spring for her business acumen, including taking second place in the independent entrepreneurship category at the DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America) International Career Development Conference in Louisville, Ky.Her business presentation earned her the highest ranking of any Wisconsin independent entrepreneur at the April conference. She placed second in the regional conference, which was held in March at Lake Geneva, to earn the right to represent the state at the international conference. "I was happy I made it that far," Christine said. "I was totally content with being one of the top 16 in the world. I was floored when I was second in the world." Also in March, Christine was named Ernst & Young's "Wisconsin Young Entrepreneur of the Year." She was recognized in April during the Wisconsin Business Hall of Fame induction program for four business leaders at the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee. Christine received a trophy and a $1,000 scholarship at a June 10 reception in Minneapolis for Ernst & Young's regional "Young Entrepreneur" recipients. In addition, Christine was featured in a March 25 Dateline NBC television episode about the Grafton community's Hometown Heros — Home Makeover effort in 2008 to remodel Karen Longoria's small house to meet the needs of her triplets, two of whom have spinal muscular atrophy and other disabilities. Christine was a member of the Student Council at John Long Middle School in Grafton, where the triplets went to school at the time. She donated a truckload of pumpkins that were sold at a football game to raise money for the family. Dateline producers interviewed the girl for the show that aired two years later. All the publicity and honors are a bit overwhelming, Christine said, but she loves talking about her business. No audience has been too intimidating for her to impress people with her poise, knowledge, goals and work ethic. She credits her 4-H experiences in public speaking and goal-setting for much of her success. Her father Dan is the University of Wisconsin-Extension agricultural agent for Ozaukee County. Her mother Kandi is the UW-Extension 4-H agent for Washington County. Grafton High business teacher Tim Fandek said Christine is the most focused, experienced and successful student he's had in his six years working with DECA students, and he expects even more from her next year. "As a freshman, you could see how experienced, polished and driven she was. That made her stand out," Fandek said. "I was anticipating unbelievable success from her, but I wasn't sure she would achieve this much success at such a young age. "She has grasped the importance of having retail and wholesale distributions and has the skills to get customers. Her business has complex facets. She's using multiple channels of distribution and marketing together and independently. There are many long-running businesses that don't understand the importance of marketing to both outlets." Christine said 65% of her sales are now wholesale and 35% are retail. She has helped organize the DECA club's fund-raiser that includes pumpkin-carving and scarecrow-building workshops at Grafton's Pumpkin Fest in October. The club sells pumpkins donated by Christine to raise money for a charity and club activities. Christine has been around pumpkins and sheep all her life. She, her parents and brother Stephen helped her grandparents Jerome and Marlene O'Neil run their pumpkin and sheep farm in the Town of Saukville. A few years ago, the elder O'Neils asked their grandchildren if they wanted to take over the pumpkin business to earn money for college. The siblings, with the help of their parents, moved the business to the family's 80-acre property in 2007, where they rotate pumpkin and squash crops with soybeans and corn. Stephen is a junior business student at the University of Wisconsin-Washington County in West Bend. Christine grows 40 to 50 varieties of pumpkins and squash, developing her own crossbreeds by combining seeds from two varieties in one field. She saves the seeds and plants a second crop the next year, adding a third variety if she's not satisfied with the results. "I have a lot of one-of-a-kind pumpkins, including a green Cinderella (a flat, round pumpkin similar to the character's pumpkin carriage). The nice thing about having so many varieties is if one doesn't grow, usually others do," Christine said. "One year, we had no Cinderellas." Spring planting is a family affair, she said. "Usually my dad or brother drives the tractor and my mom and I put the seeds in the planter," Christine said. "It's quite the team-building exercise. Sometimes, my friends help plant." Christine walks through the rows of pumpkins and squash almost every day, occasionally stooping to pick off bugs. "I talk to them," Christine said. "I ask them if they're ready to be picked." Harvesting will start in early fall. The pumpkins and squash must be picked before a hard freeze and stored in the garage, Christine said. "If an early frost is predicted, we'll make huge piles in the field and cover them with blankets," she said. "It's crazy in the fall." Gourds that will be used for birdhouses and bird feeders are left in the field to dry for a year. "We used to bring them in the garage, but found that's when they would get moldy," Christine said. Christine said she would like her business to grow to the point she can hire students to help with the field work while she focuses on decorating and marketing. She plans to attend the University of Minnesota and major in marketing and communications.

I have to admit, this is my first 'serious' maxi skirt. (I mean the white gypsy skirt i had when i was 15 doesn't count.) Lets say 2 years ago i would have never even thought of getting one as they are quite impractical( ..like tripping over about 10 times a day, getting stuck in your bikes wheels etc.-the joy of living in Amsterdam :D). But this one here, i couldn't just say no. I really had a "Confessions of a Shopaholic" moment there! Maxi lengths really add variety to your wardrobe, stand out and on top of everything, allot of fun to wear. Just try not to break your bones! x

Good old classics..
There are some pieces of clothing you simply must have to jazz up your looks, like stripes and some good old denim shorts. Pair of the ones that I'm wearing here are probably the best thing ever happen to me (closet point of view i mean). I cant name a top that i haven't matched up those shorts with. They are slightly high-waisted and little bit thorn, which gives this vintage-destroyed-my-brandnew-Levi's-jeans look! Dress them down, dress them up, winter time, summer time, it all works. Best thing ever...

Color me RED
Painting by Tin Tin Sann
One of my best investments must be definitely this red blazer. Its like a finishing touch to (almost) every outfit, which makes it a wardrobe staple in my opinion. Here i combined it with my leopard print tube/pencil skirt (obsessed with it it:D) and I have to say Im really loving the knee lengths at the moment. Today i tried to convince myself its early spring and left my coat at home. ...wasn't the smartest thing to do, but as they say- cold hands, warm heart! Right!? :D

I see Burgundy...
Painting by Sharon Himes
Never mind the good old red, its all about burgundy. I'm not sure where the obsession came from, but I'm completely in love with this color! It goes with pretty much every item in my wardrobe. Something mysterious and deep about, so it adds a little luxury into your every day life! On the photos I'm wearing my burgundy top from Zara, which I'v already worn so many times people might think its the only thing i owe! ..well at least got my moneys worth! Add a touch of gold and your ready to go.

Super Spray Parks and Fountains in the Seattle Area
On a hot — or even just lukewarm — summer day, there's often only one thing that will please everyone: water play. And that's what free spray parks are all about. They also tend to be open longer hours than wading pools.
Here's a guide to spray parks in greater Seattle area. Try them all this summer, and let us know if we missed your favorite! (Also find our guide to South Sound spray parks.)
North Seattle
- At Ballard Commons Park, kids can run through water jets set into the pavement. You can also watch (or skate) at the skate park, browse the beautiful public library, or nosh at one of Ballard's many fun eateries. 5701 22nd Ave. N.W., Seattle
- The spray pad at Northacres Park, just off I-5 near Shoreline, is a big draw, and for good reason. It also has a fantastic two-part playground (for toddlers and older kids), hiking trails, a great hill to roll down and more. The lot can fill on hot days; but street parking is fairly easy to find. 12801 1st Ave N.E., Seattle.
South Seattle and Capitol Hill
- The newish state-of-the-art water feature at Jefferson Park is part of Beacon Mountain, an ecologically oriented playscape and many other awesome improvements to this wonderful park in Seattle's Beacon Hill neighborhood. 3901 Beacon Ave. S., Seattle
- The spray park at Lower Judkins in south Seattle looks like a park from The Flintstones. Combine with a visit to nearby NAAM, the Northwest African American Museum, to soak up some culture. 2150 S. Norman St., Seattle
- The Ron K. Bills Fountain at Miller Park features granite blocks that mark off the points of the compass and a small circular play space. 330 19th Ave. E., Seattle
- Pratt Park'spopular spray park is located next to Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center in the Central District. 1800 S Main St., Seattle
- Georgetown Playfield, notes one reader, boasts "a fenced area, lots of big shade trees, swings, play equipment and now the new spray park! The neighborhood loves it." 750 S Homer St., Seattle.
- John C. Little Park in south Seattle, near the New Holly development, is also home to a new spray feature, as well as picnic shelters and new paths. 6961 37th Ave S., Seattle
Downtown Seattle, Lake Union
- On sunny days, the International Fountain at Seattle Center crawls with kids who stand (usually screaming) under the fountain's powerful water jets. 305 Harrison St., Seattle
- The fun spray feature at Lake Union Park is just one of the draws at this truly awesome public space. Kids can also explore boat-building at the Center for Wooden Boats, visit the new MOHAI, rent a boat, or hop on a streetcar for downtown destinations. 860 Terry Ave. N., Seattle
West Seattle
The renovated spraypad at Highland Park in West Seattle opened last summer. It's situated in a cozy residential area with lots of big, shady trees and a fun play area. 1100 S.W. Cloverdale St., Seattle
South of Seattle
- Burien, just south of West Seattle, has a spray fountain in its Town Square that's open daily from May to October. The park is also a perfect spot for a picnic, and features gorgeous views of Mt. Rainier. Find more to do in Burien. 455 S.W. 152nd St., Burien
- Crossroads Park's water play area boasts tons of play space and interesting Northwest-themed spray features. 999 164th Ave. N.E., Bellevue.
- A favorite Eastside park, Grass Lawn Park in Redmond, also has a popular splash pad, as well as picnic areas galore, trails, fields and playgrounds. (Unconfirmed that it's open.) 7031 148 Ave N.E., Redmond
- After shopping at Redmond Town Center, stop by the fountains (amid bears) for some splashing fun. 7525 166th Ave. N.E., Redmond
- Another popular park with a splash pad is the Sammamish Commons (behind the city hall), next to a play structure. Note: If you park in the city hall lot, it's a bit of a hike. (Unconfirmed that it's open.) 801 228th Ave S.E. Sammamish
Kitsap County
- Walk on the ferry from downtown Seattle to Bremerton and head straight for Harborside Fountain Park, just down the stairs and left of the ferry terminal. Your kids will have hours of fun wading in the series of copper-ringed, volcano-like fountains (when will they explode next!). Combine it with a trip the free Puget Sound Navy Museum, 2 minutes a way, or to the Navy Destroyer ship the USS Turner (guns, engine room, control panels, more).
Snohomish County
- It's worth the drive to play in the giant "spray pad" at Willis D. Tucker Park in Snohomish. Watch out for the dragon soaker! It opens the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. Reader Sandra Lamb recommends exploring the "awesome playground and sand pit area," too, and says it has soft grass for picnics or to to run around and play on." 6705 Puget Park Dr., Snohomish
- Forest Park in Everett boasts an awesome water playground with 16 interactive water features and an area designed just for toddlers. Also check out the playground and petting zoo! 802 E. Mukilteo Blvd., Everett
- Lynnwood's recently-renovated spray park is at Daleway Park, which also boasts a nature trail. 19015 64th Ave. W., Lynnwood
- The big draw at North Lynnwood Neighborhood Park's older spray park is the large, mist-spraying green dragon. Open June through Labor Day.18510 44th Ave. W., Lynnwood
South of Seattle
(Find a complete guide to South Sound spray parks.)
- In Tukwila, cool off at the splash and spray park at the community center, with fish spouts to aim, fountains, and car-wash-style play areas. It's open from Memorial Day through Labor Day, from 10 a.m.-8 p.m. daily. 12424 42nd Ave. S.
- The colorful water-spray features make Auburn's Les Gove Park Rotary Play Sprayground one of the most popular spray parks in the region. 910 Ninth St. S.E., Auburn
- The fountain in the Town Square Plaza in Kent has an unusual feature, a 13,000-pound granite ball sculpture, which can be rotated in its base. Kids and adults alike enjoy pushing it around the plaza. 2nd Ave. N., Kent

Many American Jews have a love-hate relationship with Israel, but are apprehensive to talk about it. Let's start here.
A man at prayer in Israel.
The moment comes for every Jew, eventually. Perhaps it occurs while visiting Israel, but maybe it occurs at home. You see, hear or read something about Israel that makes you cringe. You shake your head in disbelief and frustration.
It's hard to reconcile this information with the image of the country you have loved all your life. It's especially jarring if Israel has been presented to you as a kind of utopia.
Suddenly there are big, ugly cracks in that image. Disillusioned, you voice your criticism. Gradually, what's wrong with Israel begins to overshadow what's right with Israel.
Adding to your frustration is the sense that not everyone is so keen to hear your critiques. "I'm saying these things out of love for Israel," you say with exasperation. "Are we really not allowed to criticize?"
Indeed. The topic of how we Jews talk about Israel, especially among ourselves, has become so contentious that programs have been conducted to teach us how to talk and how to listen respectfully to each other on this highly emotional topic.
A balance needs to be struck between a reflexive, unquestioning belief that Israel can do no wrong, and the flip side of that coin, that there is precious little that Israel gets right.
While we search for the sweet spot between these two extremes, we need to bear a few things in mind. Number one is perspective. The always thoughtful and thought-provoking Daniel Gordis, addresses this candidly:
"To love Israel, I believe, is to know that the Jewish state is not just a flag or an army or some holy place. To love Israel is to love the real Israel, with all its many warts and imperfections. And to love Israel is to know that there is a difference between a wart and a serious disease; when an imperfection is so serious as to threaten the entire enterprise, then the most loyal thing that one can do is to insist that Israel be better."
Back to perspective: can you tell the difference between a wart and a serious disease? Perhaps you see the growing influence of the ultra-religious as a "serious disease", one that truly threatens Israel's future.
Your criticism is strong; you get involved in some way to push for change. Yet at the same time, can you still maintain a kind of moral ledger, keeping Israel's many strengths and achievements on the plus side?
Can you manage the flexibility of thinking that allows you to see both sides of that ledger- even when dealing with the negative side? To me, that is perspective, and it is not easy.
I have often encountered Jews who get fixated on a particular issue that really bothers them, and then they are unable to see anything else. Good news coming from Israel is dismissed with a "Yes, but…" and back to their issue they go. Not fair.
Despite the information overload that most of us experience, we don't know as much as we think we do. The Internet makes it exceedingly easy to seek out only the information that reinforces our particular point of view.
Alternative voices, small scale initiatives at work to solve problems…it takes time, effort and will to find them. Particularly with regard to matters of security, peace negotiations, and foreign affairs, a vast amount of information is unavailable to us. A little humility about "what we know" is in order.
How prepared are we to be on the receiving end of criticism from Israel? Sometimes it seems like American Jews' desire for honest dialogue and constructive criticism is a one-way street.
For example, when renowned Israeli novelist A.B. Yehoshua makes his periodic pronouncements that Israeli Jews are total Jews and American Jews are only partial Jews, it generates howls of indignation. We respond, correctly, that a rich and meaningful Jewish life is available in America.
And yet, can't we also acknowledge that there is a qualitative difference to be found in living in the Jewish homeland, where Hebrew is spoken and Jews are the majority, religiously, ethnically, culturally?
Jack Wertheimer, professor of American Jewish history at the Jewish Theological Seminary also comments on the one-way nature of criticism. When I saw the ads that he refers to below, I was furious. Reading his analysis caused me to rethink my initial (over)reaction:

Imports into the European Union Also Authorized for Corn Stacked with Herculex® I and RoundupReady® Corn 2 Traits
BRUSSELS, Belgium, Oct. 24, 2007 -- The European Union Commission today announced that it has approved two biotech corn products for food, feed, import and processing jointly developed by DuPont and Dow AgroSciences LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company. Corn products containing the Herculex® RW Rootworm Protection trait (also known as 59122 maize) and the Herculex® I insect protection trait stacked with Roundup Ready® Corn 2 (also known as 1507xNK603 maize) are now permitted for import into the European Union (EU).
"Today's approval is encouraging and we look forward to continued progress in the EU biotech approval process," said Dean Oestreich, DuPont vice president and general manager and president of Pioneer Hi-Bred, a DuPont business. "We urge the Commission to ensure similar treatment for cultivation applications so that Europe's farmers can enjoy the same benefits as millions of other farmers around the world."
These products have been deemed safe by the EU's own independent scientific authority, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), and have already been approved in numerous other countries around the world. Both products are now authorized for import into the EU in accordance with EU regulations, including the appropriate labeling and traceability of the products and their derivatives.
"These approvals tell us that the EU recognizes both the safety and benefits of our biotech products," said Dow AgroSciences President and CEO Jerome Peribere, "and the importance of a functioning approval process that ensures continued access to these products as important ingredients for animal feed for Europe's livestock producers."
Herculex® RW has been genetically modified with the Bt trait to provide a means of protecting corn plants against destructive insect attacks with a reducedenvironmental footprint. Herculex® RW helps reduce pesticide applications and, because it produces more grain on the same land area, it improves farm productivity and profitability – sustainable agriculture in practice.
The Herculex® I, Roundup Ready® Corn 2 stack was developed from traditional breeding methods of two genetically modified corn lines (1507 maize and NK603 maize) and contains no new genetic modifications. Herculex® I and Roundup Ready® Corn 2 were approved by the EU for food, feed, import and processing in March 2006 and March 2005, respectively.

The D77-TC Pelican, formally known as the Dropship 77-Troop Carrier and commonly known as the Pelican, is an extremely versatile space-to-ground capable craft used by the United Nations Space Command, mainly for the pickup and transportation of personnel, vehicles and equipment, as well as a powerful gunship.
The D77-TC Pelican is mainly responsible for the rapid insertion and extraction of troops, vehicles, and equipment to the battlefield. The D77-TC has been in service for over fifty years, and is the primary tactical support aircraft of the UNSC. The Pelican serves a multi-role purpose; it is fully capable of atmospheric flight and can land almost anywhere without difficulty. The Pelican is also capable of limited spaceflight, which the UNSC uses as a primary way of delivering troops to the surface from orbit. The UNSC also uses Pelicans as civilian vehicles for quick evacuations.[9][10]
The Pelican's standard armament consists of one Class III externally powered projectile weapon at the fore of the vehicle, and one Class I gas-operated projectile weapon mounted at the rear, in the extended crew area. More heavily armed variants exist, and the Pelican can be converted to a gunship role with the addition of numerous and more powerful weaponry.[11]
Payload capacity[edit]
The Pelican is capable of carrying up to seventy tons of passengers and cargo using a combination of internal and external methods. The main compartment of the Pelican is sometimes called the "blood tray".[12] Optimally, the "blood tray" has enough compartment space for ten seated people, but can hold five additional standing people, though the Pelican can carry many more passengers if necessary.[13] However, this increased payload capacity is sometimes due to internal modification. For example, the SPARTAN-IIs were assigned a specialized Pelican that was able to hold an entire team of twenty-five, as well as fitting cutting gear to board a Covenant warship. Three Pelicans used for the SPARTAN-III Program carried 300 children, though this may have been the effort of numerous trips back and forth from the surface.[citation needed]
The large aft overhang gives an attachment point for additional, cargo and ordnance. Possible payloads include a troop deployment pod, an M808B Main Battle Tank, an M12 Force Application Vehicle, or eight resupply canisters.
The Pelican's primary armament consists of one or more nose-mounted projectile weapons, typically autocannons or machine guns. Commonly known as "chin guns" due to their placement,[4] these weapons are controlled via an Integrated Helmet and Display Sight System (IHADSS), which links to the pilot's or co-pilot's heads-up display and allows them to target the gun by head movements.[13][14] The Pelican's standard armament is a chin-mounted M370 autocannon, which is sometimes linked with another such weapon;[15] the M370, which fires 70mm depleted uranium slugs a high velocities, apparently superseded the 40mm chain gun that was common prior to 2525.[6] Some Marine Corps Pelicans are armed with a single a rotary machine gun instead of a chain gun.[7]
In addition to its primary armament, the Pelican can carry externally mounted missile pods, each holding eight ANVIL-II Air-to-Surface Missiles. A machine gun such as an M247 General Purpose Machine Gun with an optional 25mm grenade launcher,[7] or an AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun, can be mounted facing out the troop bay to provide cover fire for embarking and disembarking troops. These weapons can be folded against the roof of the bay when not in use.
The main engines are mounted in pairs in four nacelles, one on each wing and two at the rear. The nacelles can articulate independently, thus vectoring the direction of thrust and improving the dropship's low-altitude maneuverability. Six ventral thrusters, two on each wing nacelle and one on each aft nacelle, allow the Pelican to land and take off vertically. These engines are capable of both space and atmospheric operation. The D77-TC, although fully capable of orbital insertion, is too small to be equipped with a Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine, and thus is incapable of slipspace travel.[citation needed]
Additional features[edit]
The Pelican's electronic systems are hardened against electromagnetic pulse. The craft also features jamming and detection gear, as well as a computerized mapping system. The Pelican is also equipped with an onboard weapons locker, which can hold weapons and ammunition for up to 30 troops.[13]
- Main article: D77H-TCI Pelican
The D77H-TCI appears nearly identical to the regular D77-TC except for being more angular. However, instead of the side-by-side positioning of the pilot and copilot, the pilot sits at the fore of the dropship, with the co-pilot behind him/her, and at a higher position, in tandem. The D77H-TCI is capable of sporting missile pods that are integrated directly into the wings rather than the externally mounted pods used by the D77.
Law enforcement[edit]
- Main article: D77C-NMPD Pelican
The D77C-NMPD is a variant of the D77H-TCI that was utilized by the New Mombasa Police Department in Kenya, Africa, on Earth.[16] It was differentiated from its military counterpart by a black and white color scheme, with the word "POLICE" replacing the traditional "MARINES" on the external hull, and a noted lack of armament. Under the craft's chin, where a machine gun turret or autocannon would normally be installed, were various interchangeable sensors used by the police for aerial surveillance and crowd control. An AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun was typically mounted in the personnel bay of the D77C-NMPD, similarly to the D77 and D77H models.
UNSC Air Force variant[edit]
The version of the Pelican used by the UNSC Air Force features a few major differences from other variants of the aircraft. First, the cockpit layout resembles that of the newer D77H-TCI model with the co-pilot's station located behind and above the pilot rather than side-by-side. Also, most Air Force Pelicans have chin-mounted M638 autocannons rather than the 40mm or 70mm weapons typically mounted on Marine Corps Pelicans. Another difference seen in Air Force Pelicans is that the cockpit is not separated from the troop bay; instead the troop bay and cockpit form a larger interior space than on the Navy and Marine Corps Pelicans.[citation needed]
Identified Pelicans[edit]
Browse more images on this article's gallery page. |
- A pelican is a seabird, in keeping with the UNSC's tradition of naming atmospheric vehicles after real animals, with the exceptions of the Cyclops and Gremlin, which are named after mythical creatures, and the Longsword, Shortsword, Sabre, and Broadsword which are named after bladed weapons.
- All Pelican dropships in Halo: Combat Evolved bear either the numbers E419 (Echo 419) or V933 (Victor 933). This was likely done to save resources during the development of the game.
- The Pelican shows clear inspiration from the UD4L Cheyenne dropship from the movie Aliens, which has inspired the Halo series in many ways.
- In Halo 2 gameplay, players can see the insides of the Pelican's cockpit, but no pilots are inside, despite they can be heard in COMs.
- There is a glitch in the Halo 2 level Metropolis where the player can ride in a Pelican. It will take the player out of the map, flip, and eject the player. If the player attempts to right the flipped Pelican, the script will read "Hold X to flip Banshee", because Bungie never intended for the Pelican to be operable by the player, and therefore did not make a unique message. The Pelican's in-game physics will make it impossible to correctly and permanently flip the Pelican, as it will always reposition itself in an upside-down position.
- In Halo: Reach, the player can pilot a Pelican through an Easter egg.
- In Halo: Reach, the inside screens show information on the Office of Naval Intelligence's SWORD Base.
- In Halo: Reach, all Pelicans are registered as NOBLE Team assets, as they are all given the tag "NOBLE 48".

This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2009) |
A tablespace is a storage location where the actual data underlying database objects can be kept. It provides a layer of abstraction between physical and logical data,[1] and serves to allocate storage for all DBMS managed segments. (A database segment is a database object which occupies physical space such as table data and indexes.) Once created, a tablespace can be referred to by name when creating database segments.
Tablespaces specify only the database storage locations, not the logical database structure, or database schema. For instance, different objects in the same schema may have different underlying tablespaces. Similarly, a tablespace may service segments for more than one schema. Sometimes it can be used to specify schema as to form a bond between logical and physical data.
By using tablespaces, an administrator can control the disk layout of an installation. A common use of tablespaces is to optimize performance. For example, a heavily used index can be placed on a fast SCSI disk. On the other hand, a database table which contains archived data that is rarely accessed could be stored on a less expensive but slower IDE disk.
While it is common for tablespaces to store their data in a filesystem file, a single file must be part of a single tablespace. Some database management systems allow tablespaces to be configured directly over operating-system device entries, called raw devices, providing better performance by avoiding the OS filesystem overheads.
Oracle stores data logically in tablespaces and physically in datafiles associated with the corresponding tablespace.

How valuable are links from ezinearticles.com?
i have some unique content but adding it to my blog isnt helping it much since it is new. I was considering submitting it to ezinearticles.com . Is it worth submitting. What is the value of a link from ezine articles from the the point of view of google, seniors please give ur opinion,
thanx, Farhan. |

Re: How valuable are links from ezinearticles.com?
articles aren't the best way to boost link authority anymore.
Link building imho is the one real "PROBLEM" in SEO (these days). Most other things, you can simply go to a forum and ask "hey how do I do this tech stuff?" and if youre reasonably smart and curious youll be ably to apply what people tell you to. Most of that stuff isn't a "problem". However getting great links to your website is a BIG problem and it takes (creative) problem-solving skills to get that done. That's why the majority of posts as this one go unanswered on SEO forums - Nobody can really tell you what you have to do exactly, and if they tried to they would have to write a whole book on it (it cant be answered with a post or two). So...a reply you probbaly didnt want to hear , but you got to read every bit of information you can find on link building. Find some trusted sources (SEO blogs) - I suggest www.seobook.com www.stuntdubl.com and www.jimboykin.com - they all have blogs with great information on link building. Go through that information (search those blogs) and then try to find ways how to apply it to your own site. good luck!:-) |

Re: How valuable are links from ezinearticles.com?
thanx NewKidOnTheBlock , I really appreciate ur reply........at least u showed me the way and thats all i wanted. I asked ezine coz thats the only one i feel who hasnt got its PR edited and still has an editorial value. But even a 100 links from ezine would still be from single domain. the best way i feel for submitting articles would be finding more authority websites in the same niche and get direct or indirect links(links through indirect strategies) using creative means. Thanx once again u had the courage as well as took out the time to answer this dificult question.

Re: How valuable are links from ezinearticles.com?
Farhan, can you find other blogs and other sites on the net that discuss the same subject matter, and then get in touch with the authors? Build up a rapport with some of the bloggers and sites, and then ask them to publish an article.
A few times I have emailed a number of newspapers (local and national) and asked them if they can include an article (I don't provide the article at this stage), and I've been surprised how quickly I get a response. Depending on the response, I've pursued different 'tactics' from this point on. You'll be very surprised how little feedback most bloggers and journalists receive - especially with proactive content. Go for it on a couple of sites first, to dip your toe in the water, and see how you get on (and then update this thread!) |

Re: How valuable are links from ezinearticles.com?
I post articles at ezine for my clients, and have had great success. My clients get conversions straight from their ezine articles. The trick is to write high quality articles. If you can write some really good, quality articles aimed at your target audience, they can build PR. Several of my clients articles have gained some decent PR in a relatively short amount of time, so I wouldn't completely discount the idea.

Re: How valuable are links from ezinearticles.com?
Articles generating direct traffic and conversions are one thing. Articles purely for link-building are totally different. As NewKid wrote - there's no 1 way to do things, particularly for link-building for SEO. Can you write articles? Sure. If they are good enough, you can gain inbound links - but those articles have to be promoted as well. You also need to be sure your articles are different from your website's content. Chances are, your website will not be as authoritative as the article sites republishing them. So if you publish the articles, your site can have dupe content issues. Better to publish articles strictly for the purpose of 3rd party article publication (and link building). Link building is about what pages are linking into you. Some article sites place your articles but if that page doesn't have any link-juice, then that link is of low value. But if link-juice is not what you care about and you want to do articles so that you can have people directly go to your site, then you dont need to worry about link-value of articles. So you need to separate what "value" you are attributing your links to. Is it to build up link-juice and PageRank? Or is it to help drive direct traffic to your website? |

ofcource, i'd recommend ezine. it gives me traffic, who cares for links. Articlebase is my second choice. I don't go for any other directories, IMHO.

Re: How valuable are links from ezinearticles.com?
I think there are too many factors in here to give a blanket response. Things like industry, quality of the article, competitive level of the keyword in question, age of the article / link, etc. all play into this. Have I seen value from eZineArticles? Absolutely. Have I seen value from every article they house? Nope. Be careful of blanket statements when it comes to Link Building. While it's not so much a "problem" but an "opportunity," link building has many facets and taking a look at more than one will help you make good decisions moving forward.

You have couple ways to make great success with good content.Posting in enzine is one good way.Content is the king and i suggest you to put it into your website firstly.Then to post on other ways such social networks, split up with twiter, facebook, also you can use program rss2blog which will help you much to post and ping many blogger website to visit your blog.You can post automatic whole pdf and you can set up all manual. Remember to add link with nice anchor pointed to your related website page so you can get links.

Re: How valuable are links from ezinearticles.com?
thanx everyone for the valuable input. ok i have now around 15 articles at ezine and they r all pointing to one keyword that i want to rank for and to the the same page(2 pages to be precise). As of now, i am in the first 5(on the first page) for yahoo and msn but still not in the first 10 pages in google. The links are not showing in the webmaster tools of google, so i guess google hasnt picked the links yet.
My initial aim was to improve the blog overall ranking (PR + Traffic + keyword rankings), but as of now i am focused on each page first. Lets see if i can rank for the keyword with google using just ezine. I'll take the link building campaign for the overall blog from there on using ezine(if things work out well with ezine). The editorial integrity at ezine is very good, so i feel google must be placing good weight on links from it in serps. The prob there is you can get 100 quality links(after putting in lot of work) but at the end u got links from just one unique domain. My market is not very competitive so i hope things turn out good. Will keep u guys updated. Thanx Everyone, Farhan. |

- Gorgeous busty MILF Enza just finishes cleaning up her kitchen, and now wants to reward herself with a good hard cum. Enza starts off with her fingers, but turns to her best dildo to finish the job, as she cums all over the kitchen floor. Mop anyone?

Surgeons Drive Plate and Screw Market to Over $170 Million in Japan by 2014
TORONTO, Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ — According to Millennium Research Group (MRG), the global authority on medical technology market intelligence, the Japanese plate and screw market will be driven by strong surgeon acceptance and adoption, driving this market to over $170 million by 2014.
Japanese surgeons are increasingly adopting anatomic, locking plating systems, such as Acumed's Acu-Loc plates and Synthes' Locking Compression Plates, in order to manage complex, periarticular fractures. This is because anatomic plates are precontoured to the dimensions of the periarticular space being treated, minimizing soft tissue irritation and promoting accelerated fracture healing. Surgeons in Japan also show a distinct preference for anatomic plates compared to indication-specific intramedullary nails, especially for nonmedial long-bone fractures.
"Anatomic plating represents a real growth opportunity for domestic and multinational companies," says Arun Jaganathan, Analyst at MRG. "Compared to surgeons in the US and Europe, Japanese surgeons are more accepting of clinical evidence pointing to more stable fixation and improved health outcomes associated with an anatomic plate instead of an intramedullary nail. While there is still some debate among the medical community in this regard, surgeon adoption of anatomic plates will continue to expand in Japan, cannibalizing the noncephalomedullary intramedullary nail market in the process."
MRG's Japanese Markets for Trauma Devices 2010 report provides critical insight into emerging trends that will fuel product adoption and market growth for plates and screws, intramedullary nails, compression hip screws, cannulated screws, and external fixation devices in Japan through 2014. Additionally, the report provides a complete breakdown of procedure volumes, unit sales, average selling prices, and revenues by device type. This report includes five-year forecasts, up-to-date market shares, and in-depth qualitative insights.

Looking at Epcot/Hollywood Studios area resorts (please do not suggest Moderates/Values - NOT an option) for room only 04/26/2014-04/28/2014. Disney's rack rates for a standard room at the Beach Club and Boardwalk are over $500 per night. Renting points for a BCV Studio or staying at Swan/Dolphin in a standard room are more in line with what I am willing to pay. Problem is I don't know which one to pick! I've typed everything out so it's all in front of me, but it isn't helping. Stormalong Bay and walking to Epcot is what I like about BCV, but the two beds at Swan/Dolphin appeal to me too. What would you do? My children will be 10yo & 8yo at time of travel. Here are some of my notes: *Can't post website name on Disboards* (can't book until 09/26/2014 - 7 month window) Beach Club Villas Studio - 356 sq ft 1 Queen Bed w/ Double Sleeper Sofa, Private Balcony or Patio Kitchenette w/ Fridge, sink, coffee maker & microwave DVCRequest.com ($98 non-refundable fee just to check room availability) Beach Club Villas Studio - 356 sq ft 1 Queen Bed w/ Double Sleeper Sofa, Private Balcony or Patio Kitchenette w/ Fridge, sink, coffee maker & microwave Private Rental thru Disboards w/ Contract Beach Club Villas Studio - 356 sq ft 1 Queen Bed w/ Double Sleeper Sofa, Private Balcony or Patio Kitchenette w/ Fridge, sink, coffee maker & microwave Swan 340 sq ft w/ 2 Queen Beds Standard View Dolphin 360 sq ft w/ 2 Double Beds Standard View
The only thing that matters....Storm Along Bay. Easy decision with an 8 and 10 yo....assuming you are wanting/willing to spend half of your vacation at the pool ; )
Question --- is the your kids first trip to WDW ? Or has your family vacationed here prior ? The main reason I ask ... is that if it IS the first trip , I would lean to the on property options. That being said , we have stayed at Boardwalk and Beach Club , also own DVC at Boardwalk ... AND , we have been known to sneak trips in between and stay at the Swan & Dolphin. We really enjoy the S & D , very comfortable beds , truly more a 'deluxe' room in amenities. While yes , SAB is pretty awesome , they do have a very nice pool. I like the poolside service and drink delivery to my seat as well : ) If you are not already a Starwood member , you can sign up for the Amex Card , and get some pretty cools perks. Perhaps even a discount off your stay. It's a super close walk , if staying at S&D , and while not AS CLOSE as the Beach Club , it still is obviously walkable .. and very tempting at the price points. S&D also gets you closer to Hollywood studios ... if that is in your travel plan.
I would go with the BCVs. We are headed there in 3 weeks and just love the Disney Resorts and the theming. We are renting through DVC Request for our marathon weekend trip in Jan. We tried to use them once before and they weren't able to get the resort we wanted and we weren't charged the $98 fee - just so you know. The Dolphin would definitely be out for me since I wouldn't want double beds.
I'd go with the Swan with two real queen beds. Will your kids share the double sized sleeper sofa? It's not too bad for sleeping, but not very big. You cannot use the cushions off the sleeper sofa to make a bed on the floor because they stay attached to the sleeper sofa to support the foot of the bed at BCV.
From my research - the $98 is refundable if they can't secure your reservation. They only keep it to apply to your cost if the room is available - so you would have to be sure before submitting the request that is what you want.

Cutaneous lymphadenoma. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 14639395 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Cutaneous lymphadenoma is a rare tumor with distinctive histologic features. This entity was originally described as lymphoepithelial tumor by Santa Cruz and Barr in 1987. It was renamed cutaneous lymphadenoma in 1991. To date, at least 31 cases of this entity have been reported. The literature did not contain a clinical photograph of this lesion. A case of this rare tumor is described that includes clinical and histologic features. The literature regarding the unclear histogenesis of this distinctive tumor is reviewed. This report is one of a only few clinical illustrations of cutaneous lymphadenoma. Consistent with previous reports, the histologic findings in this case include basaloid proliferation and intraepithelial lymphocytes. The usual initial clinical diagnosis is basal cell carcinoma localized mainly to the head and neck area. The incidence is approximately equal in male and female patients. Excision of this benign neoplasm is curative. Controversy exists regarding the histogenesis of this tumor. |

It seems like it's not being updated very frequently. The new management put a moderation barrier up for non "pro" users uploading recipes and since then it's become something of a ghost town. Which is a shame, because I really like the design of the site. It seems like nibbledish.com, which it at some point split off from is in more regular use.

The $19 billion price tag is a perfect microcosm to describe how technology is aiding ever-expanding wealth inequality
Nineteen billion dollars. A figure, high as it is, that has left market analysts gasping, investors beaming, and entrepreneurs hopeful. When news of Facebook's acquisition of WhatsApp broke, the comparisons and judgments were, perhaps, inevitable.
It's a tech bubble, cried many. Others quoted the now infamous, and clichéd, Dutch tulip bubble. And, a few tech pundits pointed out that $19 billion was a little higher than the GDP of a hundred different countries.
Even if one chooses to ignore the fact that a lion's share of the money is being paid in Facebook stock, the deal illustrates how the consumer technology industry has very little to do with the rest of the corporate world.
Put simply, it's becoming harder and harder to guess which technology company is going to bite the bullet next. It isn't quite a game of Russian roulette yet — there are broad signs, of course —but with the kind of cash floating around in the technology space, it might as well be.
Indiscernible factorFirstly, the framework through which technology businesses operate is becoming an indiscernible factor. Before the advent of the Internet, the humble telephone was the WhatsApp of the time. It allowed real-time communication at a much greater rate of efficiency and less hassle, which lead to telecom companies ruling the roost.
This started changing with the PC revolution and the invention of the Internet — which allowed real-time communication over geographical boundaries for a fraction of the price of the telephone. Telecom companies gradually become dumb, utility beasts, and were replaced (in the pecking order) by IBM, HP, Dell, Microsoft and Google.
The lines further blurred, when computers jumped from the desk to the pocket. IBM, HP and Dell were replaced by Apple and Samsung —which took the Internet and Web everywhere. But even with the initial coming of the smartphone, communication was passive, at best. After sending an e-mail or a Facebook inbox message, for instance, one had to wait for the other party to sign into the service, check notifications and so on.
Today's telephone is, therefore, the messaging service — be it WhatsApp, Line, Hike, WeChat — where the communication is constant, never-ending, and strong. A messaging application consumes the maximum attention of the customer — and, therefore, allows for a brand new vector of commerce itself.
The act of buying or purchasing an item is usually a purposeful and burdensome task. One has to get into a car, drive to the store, spend time, and engage in idle chat with the cashier and so on. Even e-commerce doesn't solve this — the store is replaced by the desktop PC and the idle chat is replaced by fumbling for credit card details. With a messaging application and a smartphone, the divisions between the channels of communication (which includes a friend's recommendation) and purchasing become quite small indeed.
Consider, for instance, a futuristic example. Person A sends Person B a restaurant recommendation through a smartphone, through a service like Yelp, and via a messaging application. Person B then, of course, doesn't receive a URL string full of numbers and letters — he gets an interactive mini-version of the restaurant's website. Person B can then choose to peruse through the menu, make a booking, choose what kind of table he wants and also pay for the meal in advance. Person B then sends his booking order as a party invitation to six of his closest friends.
What type of applications was Person B using? An app? A widget? Some new software? It doesn't quite matter, because the whole experience is seamless, with the power of physical retail and e-commerce being greatly magnified as purchasing and communication become one and the same.
Framework of the futureThis is, in essence, the framework of the future — a blank canvass that merges communication and commerce and that will be powered, in some small way, by messaging applications like WhatsApp and Line.
Sure, the $19 billion price tag is a perfect microcosm to describe how technology is aiding ever-expanding wealth inequality. Today, companies that are two years old and have only 50 employees can be worth $19 billion. A few decades ago, it would have taken a company over 30 years to do the same — and, in the process, give jobs to thousands of people, pay suppliers, provide pensions and the like.
But $19 billion isn't overly unreasonable if it's a shot at the blank canvas of the future. While PCs sparked a wave of business and productivity, they now sit at the bottom of the pyramid. Smartphones are the current platform — and it is on top of this that social commerce will be built. Every technology company will have to understand how to tap into the topmost layer — if only to avoid the fall to the inevitable bottom.
